Figure 1. Increase of trisomy-7 cell percentage and Chr7-defined cell diversity in higher grade of glioma. (A) Chr7-subpopulations in gliomas of WHO grades II (Oligodendroglioma, OG), III (anaplastic oligodendroglioma, AO), and IV (glioblatoma multiforme, GBM), determined by FISH. Cells with 4 copies of Chr7 were considered as tetraploid cells with 2-Chr7; (B) shannon diversity index (H) calculated based on the percentage of cells in four groups shown in A; (C) comparison of copy number variation (CNV) of EGFR and PTEN in gliomas by CQ-PCR analysis of DNA samples. Bar height and error bar are mean and SEM of individual tumors
